Meoncross School is a profit-making, coeducational independent school located in the village of Stubbington, near Fareham in Hampshire, England.[1] Since 2004 the school has been owned and operated by the Cognita Group.
History
Meoncross School was opened by a Mr Watson as a boys' preparatory school in 1953. In 1964, now with Mr Meredith as Principal it relocated to Catisfield House. In 1969, the School opened a girls’ department in Burnt House Lane in the village of Stubbington, near Fareham. This larger property became the home of the entire school in 1983 and extended to pupils up to 16 years old. In 1991 it added a Nursery. Meoncross is now a fully co-educational school.
In 1995 Meoncross joined the Asquith Court Schools group (with membership of the Independent Schools Association). In 2004, the Asquith Court group was purchased by Cognita Ltd, the largest private schools business in the United Kingdom.
In 2013, Meoncross celebrated its Diamond Jubilee.
The school today

The school will open a sixth form in September 2015, therby expanding the age range of pupils to 18.[2]
